  1. fucking aura farming😭
  2. you misunderstand Leo I personally lean towards the latter myself, but that shouldn't be a universal prescription most people will be happier in the former category
  3. No, there is nothing wrong with coconut oil on paper. I recommend trying it and asking your body how it feels. If you feel good, keep going. If you feel worse, drop it Trust your gut (literally!)
  4. Yes, balance. you want all 3 macronutrients in sufficient quantities. You will probably need more protein than you think you need, which is usually paired with fat and precious micro nutrients. In that sense, I would rather have you eat more chicken fish or eggs than just eating more bread or pasta I'm not saying bread and pasta are bad, but just sub-optimal choices relative to protein if your goal is to actually nourish yourself while recomping This is just such a complex minefield that I won't be able to give a good answer without first knowing your circumstances better. Anything I say risks making your situation worse rather than better. To get to the root of this, you will have to just do a lot of experimentation on yourself (learn which foods upset your stomach, and which foods sooth your stomach - this is different for everyone) there is an ED recovery dogma that says that all food is good because you just want to focus on eating and defeating the anorexia demon. This is a good first step, but it's not the final truth. Once you have a healthier relationship to food, there actually are real distinctions to be drawn with foods that are compatible with your gut VS foods that are NOT compatible. Some foods will actually cause real negative reactions in you. But you have to discover what these are for yourself. And then make sure not to demonize them. You can choose to avoid the incompatible foods out of love for your body while still eating plenty of the compatible foods. One tip I'll offer is to try virgin coconut oil (in your coffee, smoothies, or to cook your meat and veggies. use it everywhere!). Very kind to the stomach, and very satiating. clean saturated fat from whole foods sources is extremely underrated for killing cravings and reclaiming control over conscious eating. No problem, I enjoy answering these so fire away. Just be careful not to blindly believe me Always cross-reference what I'm saying with other sources (AI is surprisingly decent as a fact checker) and listen to your own body
  5. malt mogs dpt unfortunately
  6. sob emoji that's so fire if you're in the mood for romance that's actually unironically good, highly recommend your eternal lies It's my favorite manhwa of all time bar none. it's not perfect but it's the only comic to ever make me ugly cry (and i'm a heartless pig headed male) and the ending was so rewarding. there's no outrageous seggs so you'll probably hate it though (😭😭)
  7. perfect plan 1 hour-ish that's great news. means your system is surprised by the new stimulus. We all get kicked in the face when we first start in the gym Once you fall into a consistent rhythm, you'll stop feeling the fatigue (in fact, you might even gain energy)
  8. 👺
  9. or just eat more beans (fiber is good for you, guys!👺👺)
  10. That's a dumb exaggeration on his part. You're gonna age. It's just a matter of how fast. Indeed if you're interested in slowing the rate of aging, then brian is carving a strong path. only!? This is absolutely false. If he ate meat, many of his pills would become redundant. This is downright insulting to sunlight lol. Sunlight has a cascade of synergistic benefits which no pill can replace 1 to 1 (vit D is NOT a complete sunlight substitute) My comment that he should get sunlight is a response to his advanced indoor lighting setup (blue light, red light, etc) Good point. Clearly he does what he does because he loves it. Just saying it's not for me
  11. @Natasha Tori Maru He gives me the same pseudosociopathic optimized hollowness as the diary of a CEO guy
  12. I like bryan johnson but I would never elect to live like him. the neurotic planning and scheming strikes me as autistic as fuck and I would personally find it suffocating. I also think it's silly that he could just eat meat and go get sunlight, but instead he goes for vegan + 100 pills + TRT + expensive light therapy But our goals are different. I want to live a simple virile life and don't really care about going past 70 or 80. Johnson wants to unironically go well past 100. I just wonder what's the point
  13. 🥀🥀lolll whacha readin!! (i love manga/manhwa)
  14. this description is somewhat accurate
  15. watching non-solo videos in 2025 🥀🥀
  16. If you do frequent lower-body resistance training in the gym, as is popular with the ladies, and eat mostly protein (chicken, eggs, greek yogurt, etc) you can almost think of it like the calories you eat will get "gobbled up" by your bum and your face will be spared lol it IS possible to eat guilt-free and look better overtime! don't give up, keep experimenting until you find what works for you, and continue to show up for yourself Yes both is possible. regarding the posture side, there's a lot that goes into it so I'll try to just highlight the fundamentals: Check to see where your center of gravity is when you're standing straight, feet flat, fully relaxed. You should be "settled" in your heels, NOT your toes - and your "center" should feel rooted in your bum, not your stomach. Check if you have anterior pelvic tilt (very likely). If you do, then work on holding posterior pelvic tilt 24/7 When you breathe in, your core should expand. When you breathe out, your core should contract. If you're breathing in and out through your chest, you will notice your core expansion and contraction is backwards. Work on breathing into your lower ribcage for proper airflow 24/7 Try to walk or stand or lie down flat more than you sit. Excessive sitting leads to collapse and dysfunction. Occasional sitting is fine, but not hours and hours. Do kneeling lunge hip flexor stretch with posterior pelvic tilt. You should feel a stretch all the way up to your stomach due to the emphasis on posterior pelvic tilt Do 90-90 ab hold with ribcage breathing. lower back touching the floor. feet barely touching the wall, you should feel this deep in your abs (TVA muscle is your deep lower ab layer). breathe through your core with a forceful exhale, NOT your chest. Do goblet squats with a light weight in front of you. This helps with building full body muscle + also ingrains good posture and contributes to flat stomach over time. If you take these posture steps seriously, you should begin seeing results in your stomach within 1-2 weeks. But you may find it challenging at first. Especially, holding posterior tilt + ribcage breathing 24/7 and refusing to sit for extended periods of time will demand a lot of awareness and persistence and may become tiring. But if this works and your stomach turns flat, you'll never want to go back.
  17. u think i'm trynna fugg a saggy crusty grandma bro
  18. I see. Good disclaimer You're right, it's not sophisticated at all. Hopefully I haven't insinuated that it is. However, It's honest. That's what I'm personally interested in. For good reason ;] It's not random or arbitrary. I sound like a traditional beauty shill in this thread, but I actually agree with your point here. It's abundantly clear to me that beauty (in a sublime sense, as you say) is omnipresent, and that every human is crafted out of pure beauty in that sense. But it gets tricky when my personal reproduction gets involved. Because no, I do not want to procreate with the saggy crusty grandma no matter how thoroughly I recognize her divine perfection. Unfortunately, as a heterosexual guy with 1000 testosterone, my sexual biases will inevitably flare up if I'm sharing my outlook on women. Yeah this is something I've wrestled with. The ideal scenario is that my partner ages gracefully. Which means I'll have to filter for someone who invests in longevity and personal health. But even then, by the time she's 80 she will be a crusty saggy grandma. At that point, we'll have to bank on my testosterone crashing lmao. Just cut my nuts off at that point.
  19. I see No, I'm glad. In that case, just keep going. No need to change. You had us worried for a sec lol I hear ya If you're prone to storing fat in your face, I understand why it's so tempting to keep your bodyweight low. Muscle will be your best friend going forward for so many reasons - yes, even as a woman. Muscle will allow you to eat and nourish yourself and gain weight without giving you facial fat. And no, you will not end up looking "too buff," which is a common concern amongst ladies. You will never get bulging arms or shredded veins like a guy even if you tried to, simply because you don't have testosterone coursing through you. What's more likely is that muscle will make you look toned and thick in all the right places, like the glutes (hip thrusts are amazing for this. If the bar looks intimidating, you can pull out a mat in the corner and start with glute bridges). There's no rush though, of course. Near term goal should just be to fall in love with the gym, to remove any pressure or guilt, and to just show up as consistently as possible. I've actually been very thin my whole life, but for the last 5 or so years I struggled with what I thought was chronic bloating. I would always look pregnant as fuck for no reason, which was jarring because I would be skinny otherwise, and then my fucking gut would blow out like a balloon, regardless of meals. It was so annoying, and I thought I was fundamentally broken. I tried every indigestion hack - low carb, probiotics, prebiotics, antibiotics, parasite cleanse, antifungal medication, more fiber, no fiber, restrictive diets, fasting, electrolyte balance/hydration hacks... Literally nothing worked. I was honestly on the verge of just accepting it forever. But then earlier this year I discovered that my posture was actually chronically fucked up and that was 100% the culprit. I had a combination of deep anterior pelvic tilt and shallow chest breathing + severely weakened TVA muscles which caused my organs to literally collapse outward. Since I've addressed this, I have a completely flat stomach now, fully relaxed. The scary thing is, a lot of people actually have this exact same posture issue without even knowing it. It's the screens and the chronic sitting. Also nobody ever taught us how to breathe properly. If you find yourself constantly looking pregnant, posture would be the very first thing to suspect IMO. If it was indigestion, then there would be pain/discomfort/poor bowel movement as signs, and what you eat (or not) would yield visible differences. If you're looking pregnant all the time no matter what you eat, but it doesn't hurt, and you're sure that it's not fat - then there's a 99% chance that it's posture. One thing at a time. You'll be ok :]
  20. @Schizophonia you look good in general
  21. mmmm I like that. that could very well describe me Not necessarily true fake fans of beauty Bad metaphor According to you, classical beauty is a simple childish flavor that we must evolve past to appreciate more complex mature flavors. But this only works in the case of food sustenance because sweetness is overabundant and the de facto taste. The movement from simple sweetness to complex non-sweetness is only virtuous in relation to the oversaturation of sweetness. Our tongues already know of sweetness. And if that's all we have, then our experience is 1-dimensional. Thus we seek multidimensional experience and ween off of pure sweetness. With regards to classical feminine beauty, the script is flipped (from the male POV). No guy starts out with a 10 on their dick. In fact, likely your first few partners will be very average in looks. It's moreso the case that the defacto oversaturation is precisely "complex obscure flavors." you will be enjoying bitterness and saltiness and spiciness and sourness far before you ever stumble onto a single droplet of honey. You are downplaying the rarity of good looking people. By your own definition, if the virtuous move is to expand your pallete and shift towards a more multidimensional experience, then it is precisely classical feminine beauty that ought to be sought. For your metaphor to hold - to seriously claim that a movement away from sweetness is virtuous - men would first have to experience drowning in fine shyt (aka beautiful women), and only then would a movement away from classical beauty towards more complex flavors be considered growth. But almost no man is in this category. I understand that the feminine will instinctively recoil at what I'm saying, because this is threatening stuff. You will feel that I am wrong and/or oversimplifying.
  22. @theleelajoker Yeah it's not healthy to run around ranking people's looks in your mind, especially as you're interacting with them in real time. The rating scale is only useful insofar as you want to communicate to someone else a snapshot instance of beauty. If I were to tell you about a girl I just met, and I said "she was a 7," you vaguely get the sense that she was quite pretty but not necessarily a supermodel. This helps you form a picture in your mind of what kind of girl we're talking about. Whereas if I said "bro I swear to got she was literally a 10" in that same conversation, now you have very different expectations. Was this girl a model? an actress? the energy of the convo is changed by this one detail. And of course the mindfuck is that if you fall in love with a "5," she will genuinely look like a "10" to you. Speaking from personal experience here. My highschool sweetheart, in hindsight, was a 5 (i.e. strictly average. not beautiful nor ugly). But in the moment I would've sworn she was literally flawless lol. So which rating of her was more true? 5 or 10? I think both. The scale literally warps alongside your shifting biases. Because the scale IS measuring your bias. this is not a bug, but a feature.
  23. thanks lol I hope I didn't give off that impression. My personal cutoff is 6.9. So I have interest in all girls that strike me as an aesthetic 7+ yes, this is deeply subjective, but it's something I feel in my gut. I'm not sitting there judging women analytically. I just instinctively know within half a second if I'm interested or not. Often I find that my aesthetic "standards" are much higher than most men. A lot of guys I know will just want to fuck anything that moves... women I would consider a 5 (which is not even derogatory. most women must be a 5 by definition if you assume a normal distribution curve). Personally, I'm not a fan of that. So in that sense you could say that I'm relativistically elitist. But from my own POV it's as simple as I like pretty girls and tiddies. 0 thoughts, just oogabooga. It's not that appreciation of beauty is profound or special, but that it gives an authentic, pure drive for wanting the so-called "9s and 10s." And to that end, I see nothing wrong with employing basic strategy like knowing where to go, having connections, putting your best foot forward, etc. My pushback was against your hard stance that pursuing 9s and 10s are entirely ego-driven trauma responses. Yes, if you make your whole life about "hunting the 10," then you will end up a very sad man (and frankly you won't even get her lol). I acknowledge that ego is often present in the pursuit of beautiful women. valid Gotcha, good clarification that's completely fair. I wouldn't trust me either if I was another forum member reading "RendHeaven's" dissertations
